A little 'Friday fun' share today...
Last Friday I strapped a GoPro Fusion 360 spherical camera to my helmet and recorded my bicycle ride home. The ride is partially along Lake Superior; which is the largest fresh water lake in the world, 10% of the earth's fresh water and the same size as Ireland. Our city, Duluth, Minnesota, USA, (the world's most in-land port) is on a hillside, so my ride home is about a 500 feet vertical climb (equal to about a 40 story building :)).

Needless to day, biking to work is a lot easier! My ride starts out, without any warm up, at over 30 mph (48 kph) so it is a bit chilly, even on a warm northern Minnesota day:) Here is a screen shot of my Fitbit watch/app showing the speed... can you tell where my coffee stop is:)
Here is the 360 video... if you watch it on your mobile device, just move it around to "look around". On a computer, drag your cursor around on the screen to "look around". It also looks cool in a Google Cardboard viewer, or in a VR headset like Vive or Oculus as they both support 360 YouTube videos.

The scenery is varied and beautiful! From streets, to the big lake to a wooded creek...
